Warhammer Skirmish Rules
Here’s a set of rules for converting the large scale Warhammer Fantasy battles game to a skirmish version.
Breaking News Free Modern Skirmish Rules
Breaking News is a set of free wargames rules for modern skirmishes. From the introduction:
BN recreates the tension of today’s battlefields, scenes of difficult operations that are often called “peace keeping” missions, with the additional presence of civilians and the media.
In BN the main elements are the men and their choices on the field – these rules are not a “brochure” containing all the features of modern weapons.
BN is designed for “one-off” simulations. Build up your unit with group of miniatures and spend other points on EXTRAS (support fire, intelligence, rules of engagement…)
Twilight Small Scale Skirmish Rules
Hasslefree Miniatures has a trial set of their Twilight Small Scale Skirmish miniatures rules.
Crimson Dust Science Fiction Wargames Rules
Crimson Dust is a new set of science fiction wargames rules. The author writes:
Crimson Dust (not to be confused with Crimson Dusk) is a sci-fi skirmish game using mutliple D6 rolls to establish the results of shooting moving, etc. Its also a turnless game with players activating models or using a leader groups of models in sequence, being turnless means you can keep activating the same model whilst your opponent for example activates all of their models, as opposed to variations of ‘I go – you go’. This is significantly more detailed game than Crimson Dusk, and has very different mechanics, it been an very exciting project to work on. in addition we’ve been given permission to use some of the art of ‘Juddeski’ who is a young artist known on several forums, his artwork will come to decorate the internal pages of the rule book.
